Boomerang
We threw all of it away,but it kept coming backEvery couple of months,for the first year after yearWhenever you would call,we’d meet at your whereverWhenever you came to town,we’d be together at my here

It seemed like we both knew that we were meant to be For two nights a week, at least And on the long weekends, three
It was all about the physical, or so we liked to believe Yet, we would take each other’s heart and wear it on our sleeve Time, and then time again a history of emotions would flow Time after time, and time again we would let each other go
It seemed like we both understood far more was right than was wrong Yet, we would choose to get going, despite how well we got along
The occasional encounter, on a whim The odd phone call, a reach out to touch It was difficult, for us, to leave it all behind because we held on to too much Only ever so barely could I put you in my past Returning far too often, for far too long Time went by, and still I wondered If we were really right, or really all that wrong
Our paths crossed less, our lives evolving We’d exchange smiles, and that felt fine I brought a date to your wedding, but you came alone to mine

You would still cross my married conscience Compromised, for giving up without a fight Oddly, I felt like I should apologize to her but I knew, that would never make it right Lost in my distraction, never in my temptation Just a lingering null and a void in my mind It would have been easy, then, if I had to choose to where, and when, that I would rewindEach of us have two teenage daughters
Other commonalities, that we have both gotWe still keep in touch through social mediaYou, happily married, and me, happily notStronger because of every life experience Content, with who and where I am today
Time takes its liberties with my feelings As it drifts further and further awayJutting in and out with relative ease A recent memory brings me back to you A prom, a photograph, a time of our lives I remember, and I smile, as I always do
The classic example of a lost love story, where too late replaces not yet The boomerang that never returns Requited love, and reluctant regret
